Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mubarak, has announced that the government’s crackdown on organised street begging will soon be extended to other regions across the country, following a major enforcement operation in Accra that led to the arrest of over 2,200 foreign nationals.
In a Facebook post, the Minister revealed that the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), in a coordinated, intelligence-led operation, apprehended 2,241 foreign nationals suspected of being involved in organised street begging within the Greater Accra Region.
